Research Abstract |
1. Thermal properties of starch with sugar: Gelatinization and re-gelatinization after retrogradation of 10-50% starch with 0-200% sugar were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermal spectra of re-gelatinization after retrogradation of starch with sugar were far different from those of gelatinization of the natural starch granule with sugar. The surface state of the natural granule may protect the starch from penetration of water molecules in the suger solution The gelatinization temperature shifted to higher temperature as increase of the sugar concentration. Start temperature of the transition Ts, peak Tp, conclusion Tc were linearly increased with x, the fraction of sugar to water. It was expressed as Ts (Tp and Tc) =22x + 52 (60 and 71) C in the case of 20% starch. 2. Freezing of starch: Another endothermic peak appeared at -5 C lower side of the free water peak soon after freezing of gelatinization starch. It grew to about 10% of the melting energy of the free water during several days even at -18 C. DSC gives a sensitive method to detect the mobility of water at freezing temperature.
